Life is such a slog- same for everyone?

[Lifesachore]

I'll start by saying I know how lucky I am to have a home and be able to (just about) afford to live.

BUT everything is so boring and un enjoyable. I have 2 DC (14 & 12) who bicker and argue and eyeroll at every small request. I work FT from home so they've been around more during the holidays and they are just soooo draining. I'm just tired and exhausted from doing the bare minimum to keep the house and all of us going - I can't remember the last time I had FUN.

I have some debts that mounted up when I split with ex-DH and so I don't have a lot of spare money, but even if I do save up to take them somewhere, it's almost like I'm forcing some kind of punishment on them and they STILL argue the whole time. I don't even think I'd know what I would do to have fun and cheer me up if someone had the kids and gave me the money!

Does anyone else fee this way? I'm not depressed, just "meh"

Oof. I feel you

Yeah, not depressed just meh. I think I'm always a bit like this though, low on energy and tired and am not sure if winning the lottery or anything would change my disposition. I'm 46 and not old but I feel like I've been around a while and don't like the idea of slogging for another 40 yrs potentially.

I'm exactly the same. I'm 41 - I just CANNOT imagine doing another 40 years of this.

I go on holiday and it's such a faff buying stuff, packing, unpacking etc. I enjoy it whilst I'm there but it's forgotten within a week!

Same as another PP, I don't even know if I'd be happy if I won the lottery!

I feel like almost I'm missing an adrenaline rush or something. I don't really meet new people, have new experiences or something. But then if I was offered to do it I probably couldn't be arsed!
